Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of unsaturated halogenated hydrocarbons, and particularly relates to a method for synthesizing 2,4-dichlorobenzaldehyde. Background Art

[0002] As an important organic synthesis intermediate, 2,4-dichlorobenzaldehyde has shown extensive application value in multiple fields such as medicine, pesticides, and fragrances. In the pharmaceutical field, it is a key starting material for synthesizing various drugs with specific pharmacological activities, capable of constructing drug molecular skeletons with unique structures and functions; in the pesticide aspect, it can be used to prepare highly efficient and low-toxic pesticide varieties, playing an important role in ensuring the healthy growth of crops; in the fragrance industry, its special chemical structure endows it with unique aroma characteristics, and it can be used to formulate various fragrant spice products.

[0003] Currently, the main synthesis methods of 2,4-dichlorobenzaldehyde are as follows.

[0004] Direct oxidation method of 2,4-dichlorotoluene: This method uses 2,4-dichlorotoluene as the raw material and synthesizes 2,4-dichlorobenzaldehyde through an oxidation reaction. In actual operation, common oxidants include potassium permanganate, potassium dichromate, etc. However, this method has many disadvantages. On the one hand, a large amount of wastewater containing heavy metal ions is generated during the reaction. If these wastewaters are directly discharged without proper treatment, they will cause serious pollution to the environment and bring great pressure to the ecological environment; on the other hand, the reaction selectivity is poor, and it is easy to generate various by-products, such as 2,4-dichlorobenzoic acid, etc. This not only reduces the yield of the target product 2,4-dichlorobenzaldehyde, but also increases the difficulty of subsequent separation and purification, resulting in a significant increase in production costs.

[0005] Chlorination and hydrolysis method of 2,4-dichlorotoluene: This method uses 2,4-dichlorotoluene as the raw material. First, side-chain chlorination is carried out under light to generate 2,4-dichlorobenzal dichloride, and then the target product is obtained by hydrolysis under the action of a catalyst. This reaction requires high-temperature and high-pressure conditions, with high energy consumption, low safety, and a low total product yield and many by-products.

[0006] In summary, the existing synthesis methods of 2,4-dichlorobenzaldehyde have the disadvantages of complex co-produced components and large separation difficulty, and there are many deficiencies in terms of environmental protection, safety, and yield. Therefore, it is of great practical significance and application value to develop a synthesis method of 2,4-dichlorobenzaldehyde with simple steps, safe operation, high yield, high purity, and few impurities. Summary of the Invention

[0007] Aiming at the deficiencies of the existing technology, the present invention provides a method for synthesizing 2,4-dichlorobenzaldehyde, which has simple steps, safe operation, high yield, high purity, few impurities, and easily available raw materials.

[0008] To solve the above technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: A method for synthesizing 2,4-dichlorobenzaldehyde, comprising the following steps: diazotization, formylation, quenching and purification; The method of diazotization is as follows: Dissolve 2,4-dichloroaniline in an HCl solution, place it in an ice-salt bath and cool it to 0 °C. Dropwise add the NaNO2 solution through a constant pressure funnel, control the dropping speed at 1-2 drops / second, control the system temperature at 0-2 °C. After the dropping is completed, add urea, keep warm and stir for 25-35 minutes to form a diazonium salt suspension; The concentration of the HCl solution is 5.5-6.5 mol / L; The concentration of the NaNO2 solution is 38-40 g / L; The mass ratio of 2,4-dichloroaniline, HCl solution, NaNO2 solution, and urea is 50:160-180:81-85:9-10.

[0009] The method of formylation is as follows: Premix N,N-dimethylformamide and anhydrous ZnCl2, control the temperature in an ice bath at 0-2 °C, dropwise add POCl3 under stirring at a speed of 200-300 rpm, control the dropping speed at 20-40 drops / minute. After the dropping is completed, keep warm for 15-20 minutes to obtain a formylation reagent. Cool the formylation reagent to -5 °C to 0 °C, cool the diazonium salt suspension to 0-2 °C, under stirring at a speed of 250-350 rpm, dropwise add the diazonium salt suspension to the formylation reagent, control the dropping speed at 25-35 drops / minute, control the system temperature at 0-5 °C. After the dropping is completed, raise the temperature to 20-25 °C, stir and react in the dark for 40-50 minutes to obtain a crude product solution; The mass ratio of N,N-dimethylformamide, anhydrous ZnCl2, and POCl3 is 80:24-28:50-60; The mass ratio of the diazonium salt suspension to the formylation reagent is 300-325:154-168.

[0010] The method of quenching and purification is as follows: Slowly pour the crude product solution into a mixture of crushed ice and water, while stirring at a speed of 400-500 rpm, adjust the pH to 6.5-7.0 with a NaOH solution, then add ethyl acetate for extraction in 3-4 batches to obtain an organic phase. Combine the organic phases and wash with a saturated NaHCO3 solution to remove the residual POCl3, then dry with anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The filtrate after filtration is distilled under reduced pressure to recover the solvent to obtain a crude product. Then dissolve the crude product in hot ethanol at 58-62 °C, cool to precipitate crystals to obtain the finished product of 2,4-dichlorobenzaldehyde; The mass ratio of crushed ice to water in the mixture of crushed ice and water is 10:5-8; The concentration of the NaOH solution is 30-40 wt%; The mass ratio of the crude product solution, ice - water mixture, and all ethyl acetate is 100:130 - 150:220 - 240; The mass ratio of the organic phase to the saturated NaHCO3 solution is 100:10 - 15; The cooling temperature for cooling and precipitating crystals is -8°C to -10°C; The mass ratio of the crude product to hot ethanol is 40:80 - 100.

[0011] In the diazotization step, hydrochloric acid reacts with sodium nitrite to form nitrous acid (HNO2), and nitrous acid is protonated in strong acid to form an electrophilic reagent NO + , and the amino nitrogen atom of 2,4 - dichloroaniline undergoes nucleophilic attack on NO + , forming an N - nitroso intermediate (Ar - NH - N = O), and through proton transfer and dehydration, a diazonium salt (Ar - N2 + ) is formed; In the diazotization step, adding urea can decompose the excess nitrous acid to avoid oxidation side reactions.

[0012] In the formylation step, POCl3 reacts with DMF to form a chloroimine salt, which forms a super - electrophile through coordination with ZnCl2. In the presence of a strong electrophilic reagent, the diazonium salt undergoes synchronous denitrogenation - electrophilic addition. After the diazonium salt denitrogenates, the electron - withdrawing effect of the 2,4 - dichloro substituent stabilizes the aryl cation intermediate and inhibits side reactions; in the electrophilic substitution reaction, although the electron density at the 6 - position (para to 2 - Cl) is slightly higher, the low temperature below 5°C inhibits the electrophilic substitution path, and the rate constant of the aryl cation path is much higher than that of the electrophilic substitution; The electrophilic substitution at the 6 - position (para to 2 - Cl) with slightly higher electron density will produce a by - product 3,5 - dichlorobenzaldehyde.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: (1) The present invention prepares 2,4 - dichlorobenzaldehyde through a diazotization - formylation tandem reaction. This method only requires two steps, with simple steps, a concise route, and the raw material 2,4 - dichloroaniline being low - cost and easily available.

[0014] (2) In the diazotization step of the present invention, by strictly controlling the temperature and dropping rate, the diazonium salt exists in a precipitate suspension state, reducing hydrolysis side reactions and improving the utilization rate of the diazonium salt; the added urea avoids nitrous acid oxidation by - products and ensures the purity of the diazonium salt; in the present invention, the conversion rate of the suspended diazonium salt > 95%.

[0015] (3) In the formylation step of the present invention, ZnCl2 is used in combination with POCl3 / DMF to form a super - electrophile, and the enhanced electrophilicity significantly increases the formylation rate of the diazonium salt, and the target aldehyde yield can reach 80 - 85%.

[0016] (4) The whole process of the present invention requires a low temperature, consumes less energy, has no violent heat release / gas surges, has a low operating risk coefficient, and high safety.

[0017] (5) The method for preparing 2,4-dichlorobenzaldehyde of the present invention has the advantages of high yield, high purity, and few by-products. The total yield can reach 82.7 - 84.9%, the purity is 98.72 - 99.03%, and the content of by-product 3,5-dichlorobenzaldehyde in the crude product is <2%. Specific Embodiments
